抽穗期不同程度水分胁迫对水稻产量和根叶渗透调节物质的影响

抽穗期是水稻生长对干旱胁迫比较敏感的时期,而渗透调节是作物适应逆境的重要生理机制之一。以水稻品种丰华占为实验材料,在人为控制水分的盆栽条件下,对水稻生长的抽穗期分别进行不同时间长短的控水处理,研究干旱胁迫对水稻干物质积累、产量、根系及叶片渗透调节物质的变化规律及其生理调节机制。结果表明,不同程度干旱胁迫后叶片水势均显著下降,除长期控水处理（12d）的可溶性糖含量下降外,其余控水处理（3～9d）的根系和叶片的有机渗透调节物质可溶性糖、游离氨基酸、脯氨酸均大幅度上升,而且水分胁迫程度越高,上升幅度越大,根系与叶片表现一致,但叶片的渗透调节能力大于根系,而根系的反应比叶片更迅速和敏感。短期干旱胁迫（3d和6d）再复水后根系和叶片的有机渗透调节物质含量可恢复到对照水平,而长期干旱胁迫（9d和12d）则不能。除长期干旱（控水12d）造成无机离子显著下降外,其他不同程度的干旱胁迫后根系和叶片的无机离子K^＋、Ca^2＋、Mg^2＋等含量则变化不大或轻微下降。水分胁迫后水稻根系、茎叶和穗干物质积累显著下降,抽穗期短期控水（3d）对产量没有明显影响,而控水6,9,12d分别使产量下降12．09％,48．55％,58．30％。不同控水处理均显著增加叶片的水分利用效率,控水时间越长,水分利用效率越高。研究结果表明了水稻在抽穗期经受短期干旱胁迫能有效地进行渗透调节,产量影响较小,而有机渗透调节物质比无机离子对干旱胁迫的反应更为敏感。     

盐胁迫下构树幼苗各器官中K+、Ca2+、Na+和Cl-含量分布及吸收特征

将当年生构树幼苗置于含有不同浓度（04、1、2、3、4 g·kg^-1）NaCl的土壤中,研究其生物量积累、叶片细胞质膜透性和K⁺、Ca²⁺、Na⁺、Cl^-等离子的吸收、分布及运输,并观察盐害症状.结果表明：构树幼苗的叶片质膜透性随着NaCl浓度的增加和胁迫时间的延长而升高,根冠比随NaCl浓度的升高而增加,大于3 g·kg^-1的土壤盐胁迫对构树叶片的质膜透性及植株的生物量积累影响显著.构树幼苗各器官中Na⁺和Cl^-含量随土壤NaCl浓度升高而显著增加,K⁺和Ca²⁺则随之降低,叶片各离子含量均明显高于根和茎.说明盐胁迫影响根系对K⁺和Ca²⁺的吸收,并抑制了它们向地上部分的选择性运输,使叶和茎的K⁺和Ca²⁺含量下降.构树通过吸收积累Na⁺和Cl^-抵御土壤盐分带来的渗透胁迫,但过量的Na⁺和Cl^-积累会造成单盐毒害.作为抗盐性较高的非盐生植物,构树地上部分的拒盐作用不显著.     

长期水分胁迫对小麦生育中后期根叶渗透调节能力、渗透调节物质的影响

以 2个抗旱性强的和 2个抗旱性弱的小麦品种为材料 ,研究了中度及严重水分胁迫对根系及叶片渗透调节能力的影响。结果表明 :随着水分胁迫的加剧 ,叶片的渗透调节能力增强 ,但在籽粒迅速扩大的灌浆期 ,叶片的渗透调节能力下降。去穗处理明显地提高叶片的渗透调节能力。说明叶片渗透调节能力的高低与同化物的供应及分配有关。不同品种根系渗透调节能力与叶片基本一致 ,但根系的渗透调节能力低于叶片。开花、灌浆期根系的渗透调节能力大大降低 ,严重水分胁迫下根系的渗透调节能力低于中度水分胁迫。这一方面与同化物的供应有关 ,另一方面严重水分胁迫还会对根细胞造成损伤 ,对根系的渗透调节能力产生影响。渗透调节物质的变化趋势与渗透调节能力基本一致。叶片中 K+对渗透调节的贡献最大 ;其次是可溶性糖 ,6种渗透调节物质排列顺序为 K+>可溶性糖 >游离氨基酸 >Ca2 +>Mg2 +>Pro。根系中仍以 K+占绝大部分 ,但根系中 Ca2 +也是不可忽视的成分之一。

将水培后盆栽的花生幼苗,置于培养箱42℃高温培养,定时测定幼苗叶光合速率、叶绿素含量和叶绿体Ca²⁺-ATPase、Mg²⁺-ATPase的相对活性,并观察幼叶细胞内Ca²⁺分布的变化。试验结果表明：高温胁迫过程中,光合速率及叶绿素含量都随处理时间的延伸而下降,并呈显著正相关;叶绿体Ca²⁺-ATPase和Mg²⁺-ATPase高温胁迫过程中相对活性呈先升后降趋势,Ca²⁺-ATPase热敏性高于Mg²⁺-ATPase;高温胁迫过程中,Ca²⁺具有从胞外转运到胞质内和叶绿体中的趋势,Ca²⁺能够稳定高温胁迫下叶肉细胞膜和叶绿体的超微结构。     

等渗盐分、干旱胁迫下冬小麦叶片部分渗透调节物质的动态变化

分别以PEG-6000、NaCl模拟干旱胁迫及盐胁迫,采用水培方法研究了抗旱耐盐冬小麦沧-6001在干旱胁迫、盐胁迫条件下叶片可溶性糖、脯氨酸和可溶性蛋白质含量的动态变化以及Na⁺、K⁺在地上部和根系的分布。结果表明可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白变化趋势相似,其含量随干旱胁迫或盐胁迫时间延长而增加,但在胁迫处理后期下降,并且随胁迫强度增加,二者出现下降时间提前;脯氨酸在干旱胁迫条件下快速积累达到峰值后下降但在胁迫处理后期再次增加,在盐胁迫条件下,随胁迫强度的增加和胁迫时间的延长而增加;Na⁺在干旱胁迫下随胁迫程度增加而下降,盐胁迫条件下随胁迫程度的增加而增加,K⁺在干旱胁迫或盐胁迫下均随胁迫程度的增加而下降,且在根系中下降的速度大于地上部。     

碱胁迫对黑麦草幼苗根系活性氧代谢和渗透溶质积累的影响

为了探讨牧草对碱胁迫的耐受程度,采用营养液砂培方法,研究了不同浓度NaHCO3（0、50、100、150和200 mmol·L^-1）胁迫对黑麦草幼苗根系生长、活性氧代谢和渗透溶质积累的影响。结果表明：NaHCO3胁迫显著抑制黑麦草幼苗根系的生长,其抑制程度随胁迫浓度提高而增强,黑麦草可耐受的最高NaHCO₃浓度约为150 mmol·L^-1。随着NaHCO₃胁迫浓度的增加,黑麦草根中超氧阴离子(O^-·₂)、过氧化氢(H₂O₂)和丙二醛(MDA)含量明显上升,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性和谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量显著下降,过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性及抗坏血酸(ASA)含量先升后降。黑麦草根中Na⁺含量随NaHCO₃浓度增大而增加,K⁺含量和K⁺/Na⁺比降低,可溶性糖含量先升后降,脯氨酸含量则先降后升,游离氨基酸含量呈先升后降再升高变化。表明碱胁迫导致的活性氧代谢失调和Na⁺、K⁺失衡及积累有机溶质进行渗透调节时更多能量的消耗可能是黑麦草根系生长受抑的重要因素。     

松嫩平原盐碱土饱和浸提液与土水比1∶5浸提液间化学参数的换算关系

采用饱和浸提液与土水比1∶5浸提液两种方法分析了松嫩平原94份盐碱土样品的电导率、钠吸附比、主要阳离子(Na⁺、K⁺、Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺)以及总阳离子浓度等化学参数,并对两种方法测定的盐碱化参数相关性进行了研究。结果表明：饱和浸提液电导率、钠吸附比、总阳离子浓度、Na⁺离子浓度与土水比1∶5浸提液相应参数存在极显著的相关关系,其关系方程可用于松嫩平原盐碱土饱和浸提液与1∶5浸提液间化学参数的换算;而K⁺、Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺离子浓度在两种浸提液间不存在相关性。     

吸收与分配规律的初步研究

选择苗期耐盐性较强的水稻(Oryza sativa)品种（株系）‘AB52’、‘02402’和‘02435’及敏感品种‘日本晴’, 在网室周转箱内,设置5 000和8 000 mg•L^－1 NaCl两种盐处理,以清水为对照, 研究盐胁迫下苗期水稻植株不同部位Na⁺和K⁺的吸收和分配与品种耐盐性的关系。结果表明,盐胁迫下,株高、绿叶干重和绿叶面积下降,绿叶中的水分含量降低,但茎鞘中的水分含量有所上升。5 000 mg•L^－1 NaCl胁迫处理10 d,耐盐品种所受的生长影响和叶片伤害程度低于敏感品种,但8 000 mg•L^－1 NaCl胁迫处理下品种间差异变小。盐胁迫下,水稻植株吸收 Na⁺和置换出K⁺,但不同器官部位中Na⁺和K⁺的区域化分布特征明显,各部位的Na⁺含量由低到高依次为绿叶、根、茎鞘和枯叶。下部老叶能优先积累较多Na⁺而枯黄;绿叶吸收Na⁺ 相对较少,维持较低的Na⁺水平,同时保持较高且稳定的K⁺含量;植株茎鞘通过选择性吸收大量Na⁺ 和置换出一部分K⁺到叶片中,保持绿叶较稳定的K⁺含量和相对较低的Na⁺含量,维持较高的K⁺ /Na⁺比,从而使植株少受盐害。敏感品种‘日本晴’在盐胁迫下绿叶中的Na⁺含量相对较高,且 5 000 mg●L^－1 NaCl胁迫下绿叶Na⁺含量已接近高值,与在8 000 mg●L^－1 NaCl胁迫下差异不大, 而耐盐品种绿叶吸收较少的Na⁺。另一方面,耐盐品种茎鞘的含K⁺相对较高,在盐胁迫下能吸收容纳较多的Na⁺,而绿叶中K⁺/Na⁺比较高。可以认为,绿叶的K⁺/Na⁺比可作为一个衡量耐盐性的相对指标。     

荒漠盐生植物根际系统盐分分布特征

利用盐土和棉田土,采用水平根垫法对4种不同类型的荒漠盐生植物进行栽培实验,应用冰冻薄层切片法对距根表不同距离的土壤进行分层取样,并测定不同层次土壤中pH、总盐、Cl^-、SO₄^2-、Na⁺、K⁺、Ca²⁺和Mg²⁺的含量。结果表明: 在盐土中,距根表不同距离的土壤中,pH值呈有规律的梯度分布,即根际微区pH值较土体下降,且距根表越近,pH值越低;而在棉田土中却没有显著变化;总盐在根际出现较大的亏缺区,最大亏缺率位于距根表0～4 mm处;在盐土中,除芦苇外,其余3种盐生植物的根际土中Cl^-、SO₄^2-、Na⁺、K⁺、和Mg²⁺的含量在根际有明显的富集;在棉田土中,除K⁺外,这些离子在根际也有富集,但富集程度比盐土低,K⁺表现亏缺,而Ca²⁺却是富集的;4种植物尤其是稀盐盐生植物和泌盐盐生植物,地上部分的主要盐离子（如Cl^-、Na⁺、Ca²⁺和K⁺）含量比地下部分高,在根际富集程度最高的Cl^-和Na⁺,在植株的地上部分也增加的最多。     

水稻Rop基因OsRac5表达特性

Rop在植物生长、发育、免疫及环境信号应答等多种生物学过程中具有重要作用。已有研究显示水稻Rop基因OsRac5可能与育性控制有关,但是该基因的表达特性,以及非生物胁迫和植物生长物质对其表达的影响尚不清楚。本文采用qRT-PCR技术检测了OsRac5在水稻生长发育过程中、非生物胁迫以及植物生长物质处理条件下的表达特性,结果显示OsRac5在水稻生长发育过程中在多种组织广泛表达,尤其在根和雌雄蕊形成期的幼穗中高表达;干旱、高盐和低温等非生物胁迫均能诱导OsRac5表达;ABA、GAs、6-BA等植物生长物质能上调OsRac5基因表达,提示该基因与水稻幼穗发育、抗逆性及细胞生长等过程相关。     

不同生育阶段夜温升高对双季水稻产量的影响

利用两间玻璃温室内夜间不同的温度条件,研究了水稻不同生育阶段的夜温升高对双季早、晚稻产量的影响.结果表明：播种-幼穗分化（一次枝梗分化期）期间夜温升高,有利于双季水稻的分蘖,植株有效穗数显著增加,平均夜间最低温度每升高1 ℃,双季早、晚稻的产量分别提高10.02%～13.18%和6.52%～7.78%（P＜0.01）;幼穗分化-抽穗（10%稻穗抽出剑叶鞘）期间夜温升高,导致颖花退化,使每穗发育颖花数减少,平均夜间最低温度每升高1 ℃,双季早、晚稻的产量分别下降3.76%～6.67%和3.66%～6.94%（P＜0.01）;灌浆结实期（抽穗-成熟）夜温升高,双季早稻的结实率和产量显著下降,而双季晚稻的结实率和产量显著提高,平均夜间最低温度每升高1 ℃,双季早稻的产量下降2.07%～5.61%（P＜0.05）,双季晚稻的产量提高1.63%～2.28%（P＜0.05）.表明不同生育阶段的夜温升高对双季水稻产量的影响存在明显差异.     

Glycine betaine application modifies biochemical attributes of osmotic adjustment in drought stressed wheat

Nineteen wheat genotypes were used to examine the effects of foliar applied glycine betaine (GB, 100 mM) on concentration of various osmolytes (such as proline, choline, GB and sucrose) under drought stress conditions. Drought stress caused a significant increase in proline content and GB content of wheat genotypes, both at maximum tillering and anthesis stages. Choline and sucrose were accumulated significantly at higher levels under stress conditions at both the stages. GB application increased the proline content and endogenous levels of GB in comparison to their stressed counterparts both at maximum tillering and anthesis stages but this increase was observed to be genotype specific. Furthermore, significant decrease in choline levels and sucrose contents of GB treated plants at anthesis stage and enhanced levels of proline questioned about involvement of GB in production of other osmolytes as well as stage specific response of wheat genotypes to GB spray. But these changes in osmolyte accumulation (OA) were not correlated with relative water content and stress tolerance index observed, under both GB sprayed and non-sprayed drought stressed conditions. So OA could not be considered as a selection criteria for drought tolerance in wheat.     

自然干旱胁迫下长春花叶片和根部的激素和可溶性糖代谢变化

植物在离开生长环境较短时间内（1~6 h）会导致缓慢的表面水分散失,引起自然的干旱胁迫。本文以耐旱植物长春花（Catharanthus roseus）为材料,研究其在离土干旱胁迫中的脱落酸（ABA）及可溶性糖含量变化。结果表明,长春花根部ABA含量在正常条件下低于叶片中的含量,干旱胁迫促进了ABA在根部的积累,6 h时增加至最高值。蔗糖酸性转化酶活性可能受到ABA的诱导在胁迫6 h时最高,比对照高出30%左右。长春花叶片中总可溶性糖含量在对照条件下非常稳定,但在干旱胁迫过程中,其随着时间的延长呈现线性增加的趋势（r²=0.964）,蔗糖和已糖含量在胁迫过程中也呈增加的趋势,可能发挥着渗透调控节功能。     

硅和干旱胁迫对水稻叶片光合特性和矿质养分吸收的影响

硅被认为是植物生长的有益元素,它能增强植物对非生物逆境和生物逆境胁迫的抗性。以抗旱性不同的一对水稻近等基因系w-14-和w-20为实验材料,采用盆栽实验,研究了干旱胁迫下硅处理对水稻生长性状、光合生理特性和矿质养分吸收的影响。结果表明,在正常水分条件下硅处理对水稻的生长及生理特性没有明显影响。干旱胁迫显著降低水稻植株的生长,叶绿素含量、叶绿素荧光参数Fv/Fm及Fv/F0值显著降低,光合作用受到明显抑制。加硅能提高干旱胁迫条件下水稻植株的生物量、水分利用效率、叶片叶绿素含量、净光合速率和蒸腾速率,而气孔导度和细胞间隙CO2浓度则下降。无论干旱与否,施硅后水稻的叶片硅含量均显著上升。两个水稻品系叶片的无机离子含量在干旱胁迫条件下均呈显著增加的趋势,而硅处理后材料w-14的叶片K+、Na+、Ca2+、Mg2+、Fe3+含量分别降低16.38%,24.50%,19.70%,21.52%,18.58%,w-20则分别降低11.64%,12.11%,16.06%,11.11%和19.15%,并使之回复到与对照更接近的水平。研究结果表明了硅提高水稻植株的抗旱性与光合作用的改善和矿质养分的调节有关。     

Meta-analysis of quantitative trait loci for grain yield and component traits under reproductive-stage drought stress in an upland rice population

A recombinant inbred population developed from a cross between high-yielding lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) subspecies indica cv. IR64 and upland tropical rice subspecies japonica cv. Cabacu was used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for grain yield (GY) and component traits under reproductive-stage drought stress. One hundred fifty-four lines were grown in field trials in Indonesia under aerobic conditions by giving surface irrigation to field capacity every 4 days. Water stress was imposed for a period of 15 days during pre-flowering by withholding irrigation at 65 days after seeding. Leaf rolling was scored at the end of the stress period and eight agronomic traits were evaluated after recovery. The population was also evaluated for root pulling force, and a total of 201 single nucleotide polymorphism markers were used to construct the molecular genetic linkage map and QTL mapping. A QTL for GY under drought stress was identified in a region close to the sd1 locus on chromosome 1. QTL meta-analysis across diverse populations showed that this QTL was conserved across genetic backgrounds and co-localized with QTLs for leaf rolling and osmotic adjustment (OA). A QTL for percent seed set and grains per panicle under drought stress was identified on chromosome 8 in the same region as a QTL for OA previously identified in three different populations.     

Free and Cell Wall-Bound Polyamines under Long-Term Water Stress Applied at Different Growth Stages of ×Triticosecale Wittm

Background

Long-stemmed and semi-dwarf cultivars of triticale were exposed to water stress at tillering, heading and anthesis stage. Quantitative determination of free and cell wall-bound polyamines, i.e. agmatine, cadaverine, putrescine, spermidine and spermine, was supplemented with an analysis of quantitative relationships between free and cell wall-bound polyamines.

Results

The content of free and cell wall-bound polyamines varied depending on the development stage, both under optimal and water stress conditions. Drought-induced increase in free agmatine content was observed at all developmental stages in long-stemmed cultivar. A depletion of spermidine and putrescine was also reported in this cultivar, and spermidine was less abundant in semi-dwarf cultivar exposed to drought stress at the three analyzed developmental stages. Changes in the content of the other free polyamines did not follow a steady pattern reflecting the developmental stages. On the contrary, the content of cell wall-bound polyamines gradually increased from tillering, through heading and until anthesis period.

Conclusion

Water stress seemed to induce a progressive decrease in the content of free polyamines and an accumulation of cell wall-bound polyamines.     

Influence of Osmotic Adjustment on Leaf Rolling and Tissue Death in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Osmotic adjustment, measured by the lowering of the osmotic potential at full turgor, and its influence on leaf rolling and leaf death was assessed in the lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar IR36 in both the greenhouse and field. The degree of osmotic adjustment varied with the degree and duration of stress, but was usually 0.5 to 0.6 megapascal (maximally 0.8 to 0.9 megapascal) under severe stress conditions. In leaves in which osmotic adjustment was 0.5 to 0.6 megapascal, leaf rolling and leaf death occurred at lower leaf water potentials in adjusted than in nonadjusted leaves. We conclude that osmotic adjustment aids in the drought resistance of rice by delaying leaf rolling, thereby maintaining gas exchange, and by delaying leaf death.     

Comparative Metabolite Profiling of Two Rice Genotypes with Contrasting Salt Stress Tolerance at the Seedling Stage

Background

Rice is sensitive to salt stress, especially at the seedling stage, with rice varieties differing remarkably in salt tolerance (ST). To understand the physiological mechanisms of ST, we investigated salt stress responses at the metabolite level.

Methods

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to profile metabolite changes in the salt-tolerant line FL478 and the sensitive variety IR64 under a salt-stress time series. Additionally, several physiological traits related to ST were investigated.

Results

We characterized 92 primary metabolites in the leaves and roots of the two genotypes under stress and control conditions. The metabolites were temporally, tissue-specifically and genotype-dependently regulated under salt stress. Sugars and amino acids (AAs) increased significantly in the leaves and roots of both genotypes, while organic acids (OAs) increased in roots and decreased in leaves. Compared with IR64, FL478 experienced greater increases in sugars and AAs and more pronounced decreases in OAs in both tissues; additionally, the maximum change in sugars and AAs occurred later, while OAs changed earlier. Moreover, less Na⁺ and higher relative water content were observed in FL478. Eleven metabolites, including AAs and sugars, were specifically increased in FL478 over the course of the treatment.

Conclusions

Metabolic responses of rice to salt stress are dynamic and involve many metabolites. The greater ST of FL478 is due to different adaptive reactions at different stress times. At early salt-stress stages, FL478 adapts to stress by decreasing OA levels or by quickly depressing growth; during later stages, more metabolites are accumulated, thereby serving as compatible solutes against osmotic challenge induced by salt stress.
